[220513.EN.SEA] Dutch RoyalHaskoningDHV Win TanjunG Priok Port Extension Project

NETHERLANDS-headquartered RoyalHaskoningDHV has been awarded the multi-million dollar contract to oversee the construction of the extension of the main port of Jakarta, Tanjung Priok of stage 1 due for full build-out completion in 2018.

The first container terminal to be built is due to start operations in 2014 with an annual capacity of 4.5 million TEU.

The contract is part of the North Kalibaru Terminal Development and the first phase includes the development of a new 4.5 million TEU container terminal which when completed in 2023 will triple port capacity to 18 million TEU.

The first phase will be supervised by lead consultant Royal HaskoningDHV in construction works including land reclamation, revetments, an access bridge, a container yard and quay structures, supported by local sub-consultant PT Atrya Swascipta Rekayasa.

The Dutch company will mobilise a team of over 50 staff to deliver the supervision works and resolve issues on a tight schedule, said its project director Herman Pals of one of its biggest port developments currently.

"It is a strategic project in terms of infrastructure development in Indonesia, so for both the port and terminal operators the stakes are high," Mr Pals said, according to the UK's Port Technology International.
